Description

The Corrigan Cast, by Brendan 'Wrong Way' Corrigan, takes a unique, usually light-hearted look at various aspects of life in Colombia and the region in general, as well as current affairs around the world. It makes for (usually!) fun, interesting listening! The Corrigan Cast's predecessor, The Colombia Cast, can be found at: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-colombia-cast.
